What is Polocrosse?

Polocrosse is a ball sport played on a horse with a racket similar to a lacrosse stick and a large soft rubber ball. Players play in teams of six with three players on the field at any one time. Each set of three players are called a section. The first section plays for a chukka of either six or eight minutes and then swap with the second section. The second section plays for their six or eight minute chukka and then the first section comes back on.

At the highest levels of polocrosse th teams are divided into a mens section and a womans section although most tournaments play with an "open" format where teams can have any mixture of men and women.

Polocrosse games are usually held at tournaments which last either one or two days and have each team play several other teams, with a winner being declared at the end of the last day. They are held all over the country although polocrosse is centered on the East Coast between Florida and New York, in Texas, in Colorado and in Washington State. Players from Carolina Polocrosse Club have traveled all over the country and all over the world playing for their club and country!
